To make your browser see it you need to make sure you have either IIS 3.0 or 4.0 installed and running on the machine. I have not had good luck with the latest build of active perl on the NT machine. I ended up installing build 522. On IIS 3.0 I installed 522 and then had to copy the perl.exe off of a NT resource disk. In the documentation that is copied to you machine when you install, there is a document on setting the perl.exe as a service of the web server which then allows the web server run them.

If you did that and are getting this <file> is not supported then try to make associations with the .pl extension in the web server and windows(build 522 does this for you).

If you get a 501 server error either the Iuser does't have permissions for the Perl.exe service or they don't have execute access on the script.

To make it recognize a .cgi you need to associate the .cgi as a perl file in the web browser and windows machine itself. The documentation on the activeperl will tell you how to make the registry changes.
